Tiger's first interview

Think Tiger Woods. Undoubtedly you thought Golf. The name Tiger Woods has become unanimous with professional golf and recently infidelity.  Woods learned to golf as a very young child from his father, Earl and exhibited unseen proficiency right from the start. He studied at Stanford University where he played on their collegiate team, dominated the NCAA as a freshman and won numerous armature titles before turning pro in 1996. At the Age of 21 Tiger Woods was propelled to fame by winning the U.S. Masters setting a record score for the course. Not only was Woods the youngest man to ever win the title but he was also the only African American to accomplish this feat. Since then his golf career has quickly taken off culminating with a number 1 spot in the Official world Golf rankings and 14 major title wins. Woods is now only four titles behind the all time record held by Jack Nickalus. While golf is what made him famous there are many other facets of Tigers life that keeps people interested. One main thing that always kept me interested is the fact that Tiger was an all American boy who lived the American dream. Combining his god given talents and hard work Tiger became a superstar, exemplifying the fact that with hard work and dedication you can have success, a central theme that as Americans we love to hear comes true.  

While Wood's career on the green was on fire his personal life at home wasn't doing so hot. Rumors circulated about infidelity and mistresses. On November 27, 2009 Woods collided into a fire hydrant outside his home in the middle of the night. The police report stated that Wood's wife, Elin Nordegren, smashed the back window of his SUV with a golf club. The incident arose questions about the circumstances that surrounded the accident but Woods remained silent, refusing to issue a statement. Soon Woods made an announcement that shocked the world and stated that he would not be participating in any other golf tournaments in 2009. As the silence persisted reports of Wood's mistresses began coming more frequently. Soon the mistress count grew to over a dozen and Woods and his publicist were no longer able to suppress the media frenzy that was surrounded our beloved golfer. Woods soon issued a statement apologizing to his family and fans for his actions, admitting infidelity, and announced he would be taking a Hiatus from golf. According to multiple sources, during this sabbatical Tiger checked into a sex rehab clinic in order to properly deal with his issues. 

Today is the first time Tiger opened up about his experiences since the car crash that changed his life. It takes something special to trump The March Madness NCAA basketball tournament but special isn't something Tiger has trouble with. Woods granted ESPN an exclusive 5 minute interview with one stipulation, the interview must not not air a minute before 7:30 eastern time. This is an amazing play by Tiger Wood's publicist. At 7:30 pm millions of people across the nation would be tuning into watch dozens of different scheduled basketball games but instead on ESPN they find the first Tiger Woods interview.
